Review of Instinct

Instinct (1999)
7/10
A nice tale questioning about humanity and civilization
18 August 1999
It was a good film.

A professor lost in Africa, was found living with apes and after

that was jailed being accused of the murder of 3 people. After a

time spent in the prison of an african country. He's sent back

to the U.S. There a doctor tries to investigate the reasons

behind the murders and the wild violence that shows the

professor from time to time, trying to overcome his silence.

(Obviously the young doctor looks for an advance in his

to-be-established career).

What we learn through the film is a questioning about what the

meaning of humanity and civilization are. Well discover the

reasons that drove the professor to his now apparently violent

conduct and just know that our concepts or "illusions" as are

stated in the film, are just simply that: "illusions".

The actors do it well, but some times the pace of the story is

very tedious, but the final result is a well rounded story,

giving us at the final, the change of mind and objectives in the

life of many of the characters.

I highly recommend this movie, because I think everybody needs

to make -and why not, answer- yourself the question about the

meaning of civilization.
